What are the error(s) you get?

I assume it's something like 'Command not found', in which case you need
to modify your shell's startup file (for csh, ~/.cshrc) and add /sbin,
/usr/sbin, and /usr/X11R6/bin to the path variable.  

My path looks like this:

set path=( /usr/local/bin /bin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /sbin /usr/X11R6/bin
/etc ~dwhite/bin /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/jdk102/bin)
